I figure this whole pension/retirement issue is going to explode soon, not just for AC, but for all employees.

We live longer and hope to retire sooner while maintaining the same or better lifestyle that we have while working.

While I agree that we all want to live as long as possible, we cannot expect a company or government to pay our expenses for 20, 25, 30 years of retirement.

Think about this scenario. You work at 1 company starting at 30 and work there for 30 years, retiring at 60. you might reasonably expect to live till 75. Will 30 years of pension contributions cover you for 15 years of payments????

Companies are not expanding, the population of Canada is not growing as it once did. People are not having 3-6 kids to replace older workers. Something will have to give.

Just something to think about.
